Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,315 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,315 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,055 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,689 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 230°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,589 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,007 feet, an increase of 33,417 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles north of New Goshen, Indiana. This phase lasted for 96 minutes and covered a distance of 794 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles west of Venice, Florida. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 35,000 feet to an altitude of 1,268 feet, a decrease of 33,733 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 11,316 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 687 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40°.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 5,047 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,090 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 155 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,804 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 148 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 687 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 5,047 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and rollout phases.
